Four cases of tubular colonic duplication are reported and 53 more are reviewed from 1876-1981 literature. Eighty percent of these patients had other anomalies, most notably genital and bladder duplications. Females outnumbered the males 37 to 20. Fifty per cent of patients of either sex had some form of fistulous communication. In no one was the anomaly incompatible with life. Based on the anatomy of distal ends of duplicated colon, the patients are divided in five groups, for each of which the incidence and nature of concomitant anomalies are tabulated. Because of their anatomic complexity, most patients with colonic duplication require clinical evaluation by multiple subspecialists. We have also suggested the sequence and extent to which they should be evaluated by radiologists.

Left ventricular apical-abdominal aortic valved conduit has been a successful procedure for relief of severe left ventricular outlet obstruction. Postoperatively, unusual deformities of the gastric fundus and cardia may be seen on the upper gastrointestinal series and should not be mistaken for pathologic mass lesions. Three deformities are characteristic: anterior impression on the gastric fundus, medial impression on the gastric fundus, and narrowing of the distal esophagus. Occasional gastrointestinal complications including dysphagia and gastric erosion may occur.

The application of ultrasonographic and percutaneous needle puncture techniques in the diagnosis of various fluid-filled renal anomalies has permitted rapid delineation of anatomic detail, more definitive physiologic evaluation, and drainage, when necessary, in a safe and cost-effective manner. Its usefulness in children is emphasized in 6 illustrated cases of male infants with minimally or nonopacified renal anomalies, one of the more difficult diagnostic problems in pediatric urology.
